A Russian politician who was jailed by Vladimir Putin for opposing the war in Ukraine has described how he is now being frozen to death in a jail from hell.
Councillor and lawyer Alexei Gorinov, 60, came to international attention when supporters stood and cheered him as he was jailed for almost seven years in a draconian sentence.
He was jailed in July for spreading “knowingly false information” about the Russian army while he defiantly stood in the dock and warned of a return to the horrors of Stalin while demanding Putin end his war in Ukraine.
